What is Bus Stop Advertising?

Bus stop advertising uses the infrastructure of the public bus network to post marketing messages mainly through the use of posters within bus shelters.

There are also interactive bus stop advertising options, bus bench advertising and even bus stop advertising take-overs (but these are more unusual).

Benefits of Bus Stop Advertising

It’s commonly considered that only bus users see adverts on bus stops, but this simply isn’t correct. Those waiting for buses and glancing around are joined by those walking past, those disembarking buses and those riding or driving past. The exposure therefore offered by bus stop advertising is an effective way to promote any service, product or company.

Whilst not an advertising medium that many consider right away, bus stop advertising achieves levels of mass exposure that other channels can struggle to achieve; whilst still allowing for the targeting of an audience to ensure that your brand reaches your correct market.

The best bus stop advertising is in the right locations and at the right time - therefore it’s seen by the right people.

One of the main benefits of bus stop advertising is its ability to reach some notoriously difficult socio-economic segments that can’t be obtained easily by other advertising methods. This includes older people, who travel often in the UK by bus as they’re able to receive free journeys, and lower-income audiences who find bus travel cheaper than alternatives.

Market action is just as important as demographics when it comes to advertising at local bus stops. The customers should understand your message when they see the advertisement, as with most forms of out of home advertising in Belfast being clear and concise with your messages is important.

Cost of Bus Stop Advertising

Advertising on bus stops is often a cost-effective form of outdoor advertising, offering a great return on investment for most companies. The costs of bus stop advertising is variable and based on a number of factors, explored briefly below:

Regions with high footfall (and therefore high exposure) are more expensive than those in more rural, less busy areas.

Purchasing multiple bus stop placements across a wide location e.g. town or city centres, will be more expensive.

The length of your bus stop or bus shelter advertising campaign e.g. 2 week, 1 month, 6 months etc. will also affect the cost. The longer a bus ad campaign runs the more expensive it will be.

Bus stop advertising prices can be tricky to negotiate if you are approaching the media owners directly, but there’s no need to worry as at Billboard Advertising we are experts in placing bus shelter advertising and have existing relationships in place with the media owners and/or bus companies.

Which Companies Use Bus Stop Advertising?

Bus stop advertising can be used for both commercial and public service messaging (such as NHS and political marketing), to small local enterprises (restaurants, bars etc.) through to global businesses and major brands.

Bus Shelter Advertising Options

There are lots of options for advertising at bus stops and shelters. Bus stop posters are just the beginning! These include, but are by no means limited to, standard poster panels (4 sheet and 6 sheet), back-lit posters for round-the-clock and round-the-year advertising and even digital posters. The latter allows for frequent and swift changing and adapting of messaging, and can be done on a full-time or rotational basis.

‘Take over’ options give the opportunity to fully brand the bus shelter, right down to the seats! With this option, there’s an opportunity for advertisers to create a memorable brand presence with bus shelter advertising; successful examples of this include Norwegian Airlines, who converted bus stop seats into faux-wooden sauna benches!
